Outside not being able to play until 2017
All are contracted and they won't leave
So this rather pointless isn't it
https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/afl/a/30566332/banned-bombers-can-walk-out-on-club/All 12 suspended players still at Essendon will have the power to declare themselves de-listed free agents and walk out on the embattled club for a new AFL home after receiving year-long doping bans.
In a revelation that threatens to further gut a shattered Essendon list, the AFL Players’ Association confirmed at a closed meeting yesterday that each of the dozen Bombers suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport was free to quit Essendon of their own will.
The West Australian understands the affected players will be able to automatically de-list themselves under league conditions relating to a breach of contract.
Any player who chooses to take the option of voiding their existing contract with Essendon could sign with another AFL club for 2017 under the same rules that apply to de-listed free agents.
Essendon are believed to have no recourse to prevent a player walkout, with the CAS guilty verdict and the club’s admission of fault over their controversial supplements program in 2012 qualifying as a breach of contract.
